- 143: Artistic Theme Of The Bacchae
- My artistic theme is about the play “The Bacchae of Euripides” and how the god Dionysusis irrational behavior is in accord with that of Alcibiades in Plato’s Symposium. In both books the above named character’s behavior was reactive to their situations rather than proactive. In the Symposium, Alcibiade’s unrequited love, or rather lust for ... with him yourself! Therefore, justifying to himself that he is not in control of his body or emotions. This is in direct contrast to the character of Socrates presented by Plato.

- ... therefore be to make the passive intellect it’s object so this apprehension can occur. What is potentially comes to be actually. This implies that there is something similar to Plato’s world of Forms insofar as man is cut off to a pre-existing knowledge and with which we are not in communication. Where Plato called it the re-collection of forgotten forms I believe Aristotle to call it divine reason actuating itself in human reason. Because all men by nature to desire to know ...

- ... of putting them out. Montag takes a journey from a literary darkness to a knowledgeable light. This journey can be compared to the short story Allegory of the Cave by Plato, in which a prisoner experiences a similar journey. An example of light, in reference to knowledge, occurs just after Montag meets Clarisse for the first time. "When they reached her ... a future of hope and optimism. Throughout Fahrenheit 451 Montag goes through a transformation from book burner to book preserver. Montag mirrors the path taken by one of prisoners in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.

- 147: Greek Mythology And Religion
- ... or mythos has always been in tension with reason or logos, which signified the sensible and analytic mode of arriving at a true account of reality. The Greek philosophers Xenophanes, Plato, and Aristotle, for example, exalted reason and made sarcastic criticisms of myth as a proper way of knowing reality. The distinctions between reason and myth and between myth and history, although essential, were never quite absolute. Aristotle concluded that in some of the early Greek creation myths, logos and mythos overlapped. Plato used myths as metaphors and also as literary devices in developing an argument. Western Mythical Traditions The debate over whether myth, reason, or history best expresses the meaning of the ...
